ridiculous that I face the same team as in the group stage.

Yep, that happening is a shameful thing (more as it's not the first time, and nothing have been done to FIX it). At least for the first match, DEVs should prevent that to happen. For instance, grouping teams in four halves, so:

- 1st's from A, B, C & D would play vs 2nd's from E, F, G & H (and randomizing pairs)
- 1st's from E, F, G & H would play vs 2nd's from A, B, C & D (and randomizing pairs)
- and from the second round on, random pairs

And, if that were too complicated for them to guess how to do it, they could simply pair teams by crossing the alphabetical order:

- 1st's from A, B, C, D, E, F, G & H would play vs 2nd's from H, G, F, E, D, C, B & A (pairs in this order, not random)
- and from the second round on, random pairs

Either method would prevent the nonsense of both teams of a same group playing *again* in the first round.

it's stupid that you can play in eightfinals against team you played in group stage..

it shouldn't happen.

I think it would make it more interesting to have fixed structure, like actual world cup. Just randomize the groups the way it's done now, but after that keep fixed crossing (A1 vs B2, winner vs wiiner of C2 vs D1, etc).

yep, it will be better than now.

First game between Hellas and latvija was even. Should have ended as a draw. Maybe my superduper strikers won it :)

You were lucky.
I hope that you will not have two times in row.

whatever you say. I see you had a great master with Evloghtos in match analyses.

You still remember..the kicks..from Hellas to Velgium..?:-D

I mostly remember your funny comments which your new NT coach has inherited when he took over Hellas NT management. I must say, I missed them on the forum lately!
